 at least one muffling block mounted in the at least one second channel of the block. 
 
   
   
     2. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the block is sandwiched between the at least one muffling block and the drumshell. 
   
   
     3. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 1 , wherein
 the inner surface of the drumshell has a protruding peripheral wall encompassing an outer periphery of the block; 
 the block is fully received in and limited by the protruding peripheral wall of the inner surface of the drumshell. 
 
   
   
     4. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 3 , wherein the block has an end face flush with an end face the protruding peripheral wall of the inner surface of the drumshell. 
   
   
     5. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 1 , wherein
 the inner surface of the block has a protruding peripheral wall encompassing an outer periphery of the muffling block; 
 the muffling block is fully received in and limited by the protruding peripheral wall of the inner surface of the block. 
 
   
   
     6. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 5 , wherein the muffling block has an end face flush with an end face the protruding peripheral wall of the inner surface of the block. 
   
   
     7. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the block is fully received in the first channel of the drumshell. 
   
   
     8. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one muffling block is fully received in the at least one second channel of the block. 
   
   
     9. The drumshell construction as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the drumshell, the block and the muffling block laminate each other.
